If Roman Reigns is saying he is WWE, then you have got to “Believe that”. Now “The Tribal Chief” won’t use his old sayings anymore but he is definitely at the peak of his career. Soon, Reigns is going to reach a milestone no pro wrestler has been able to accomplish in the last 3 decades. He is going to complete 1000 days as the WWE Undisputed Universal Champion on the day of Night of Champions.

Now there are many scenarios but there is a low chance of Reigns losing the title at Night of Champions as WWE wants Roman Reigns to keep his title Reign till the end of the year. So, it would be interesting to see who will dethrone Roman Reigns. It is not known who Roman Reigns is going to face at the Night of Champions.

With WWE Draft 2023 starting and Reigns getting drafted to Smackdown, it will be interesting to see who is going to face “The Tribal Chief” and who can beat the unbeatable. Till that happens, here are our top 5 picks for who can dethrone Roman Reigns.

Bobby Lashley

Lashley is now officially part of the Blue brand. Everyone knows how big of a menace “The Beast Incarnate” is but after fighting Lashley, Lesnar learned there is someone of his same size and strength. So, he is one of the very top picks who can dethrone Roman Reigns to end his reign as “The Tribal Chief”. Also, as he is drafted to WWE SmackDown, it increases the possibility that he might get to challenge the WWE Undisputed Universal Champion at the Night of Champions.

Jey Uso

The Usos lost their rematch against Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens yesterday for the WWE Undisputed Tag-Team Titles on WWE Smackdown. The Bloodline’s definitely going to crack which might bring back the bad blood between Jey Uso and Roman Reigns.

This would put the Bloodline tale to a close. Reigns defeated his cousin early in his championship run, forcing The Usos to align behind the Head of the Table. But there’s definitely some tension between Reigns and Jey Uso that dates back to when The Usos lost the tag team titles to Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens at WrestleMania and now losing at Smackdown, and it’s only a matter of time until that scenario erupts.

Cody Rhodes

Rhodes might be drafted to RAW but he has cleared his intention to get the piece of “The Tribal Chief”. During WWE’s live event in Belfast, Ireland on Friday night (prior to Smackdown airing), Rhodes teased that his feud with Roman Reigns would continue regardless of the Draft results.

“The way I look at it is this what happened in Wrestlemania in Hollywood (losing to Reigns) is an injustice that I 100% intend on avenging. Doesn’t matter what, doesn’t matter when it happens. I still intend to finish the story. And part of finishing the story means coming back to Belfast – Champion.”

The American Nightmare might get to end this once and for all. He might win the Money in the Bank who knows. Many things can be speculated but he is also one of the biggest prospects who can dethrone Roman Reigns.

AJ Styles

“The Phenomenal One” is one of the most excellent technical and talented wrestlers of all time. He is one of the greatest if not the greatest. AJ Styles had a triumphant return at this week of Smackdown alongside OC kicking the Viking Raiders back to their hole. With Styles drafted to Smackdown, he is also one of the top prospects to dethrone Reigns. With AJ Styles close to retiring from his career WWE would want him to have the best farewell. Who knows…. Let’s see.

Solo Sikoa

It would be very hard to believe “The Enforcer” would dethrone The Tribal Chief. But the biggest moles are someone close. Sikoa has been solidly in Reigns’ corner since his arrival at Clash at the Castle, talking little but making a huge effect as the Bloodline’s quiet enforcer. His commitment hasn’t faltered, unlike Jey Uso’s, but a feud between him and Reigns would be breathtaking. There is no greater internal danger to Reigns’ position as “The Tribal Chief”.
